Hey "Dan ny" Leonidas was a great Greek, leader, and soldier for sacrificing himself and his army at Thermopylaye to stop Xerxes army from getting to the City States, however this does not prove he is a great general. He could have been a great general but he was never given the opertunity to prove himself, therefore just because of his great sacrifice, it doesn't instantly mean he's a great general. I beleive this, but don't get me wrong i still greatly admire Leonidas.

Wheres Alexander the Great? He conquered more land than one man has ever conquered. He improved upon tactics that are still used in todays militarys. Was he not one of the Greated generals of the ancient time?
